I finally made it here by a hair's breath...whew!
Please add two more nipponese soldiers in the special attack force. (Manny the korean junior officer and myself, a peasant recruit). I have one helmet, uniform meduim sized shirt/pants and wrap around leggings), and set of leather pouches to spare. Maybe I can bring the 7.7mm "woodpecker" meduim machine gun but I warn that it needs two to carry the darned heavy thing...I and one volunteer co-machinegunner.
Will there be space in the bus for us?
For inspiration to all those who will be IJA tomorrow....
Note, the IJA troops carry their rifles like spears into the assault, by the right hand only, pointing forward....not like the way U.S. trained troops do using both hands with rifle across chest.
Also from a running position going down to take cover, japanese soldiers use the left hand and the left side to hit the ground, and they also crawl this way accordingly.

whew! my ears are still ringing from the thunderous explosions. it was as close to the real thing. Another milestone for the Philippine reenactors. Can't wait for the after action report, pictures and most importantly the video!

It was an honor to be part of it. Definitely beats NSTP Saturdays by a long shot.
